Food Processor

Add the oil, turn the processor on, and with it running, add the water through the feed tube as fast as the flour will absorb it. It should form a ball - if it doesn't, add tiny bit more water to get it to form that cohesive ball.

Cooking Oil

Continue processing for another minute. The dough will feel gritty from the masa harina, but it should also feel like a cohesive dough.
